Workgroups are for the birds…

The majority of un-serviced small businesses operate on what’s called a workgroup. This usually means that each computer on your network has files stored on it, rather than in one central location. Sharing common files from computer to computer can be challenging, especially as more and more users are added. If/when hardware failure occurs, the data loss can be unrecoverable – and migrating that computer’s user to a new machine takes substantially longer than it has to.

Domains are the ideal situation for networks running more than three users that share information. A domain is also ideal for managing files for safe keeping, in the case of hardware failure. If/when hardware failure occurs, the files are stowed safely on the server. We then migrate that computer’s former user to a new machine; it is as simple as logging in as his/herself from another workstation.

A domain is a group of server computers that share a common user account database. This means that a singular administration has control over the network and allows certain users to have access to certain files.

Domain: The Better Business Choice

Workgroups only make sense in very small environments, such as your home or a start-up company that uses less than ten computers. But if you’re a bigger business or one that wants to scale and manage users and sharing, a domain network is for you. Domain, however, is difficult to set up properly and requires the help of experts from an IT firm. That’s where Virtual DataWorks, the leading name for IT consulting in Ohio, comes in.
